Usage

Example - Load an SPE file:

#run the loader by pointing it at the appropriate file.
#If it's in your managed user directories there's no need for an absolute path
ws1 = LoadSPE("Example.spe")

print("Number of Spectra: {}".format(ws1.getNumberHistograms()))
print("Number of Bins: {}".format(ws1.blocksize()))

Output:

Number of Spectra: 32
Number of Bins: 195
